IIVIPRO'VEZM'ENT IN WATER-0150331135.;

To all whom it may concern:

- Be it known that I, D. SCHILLINGF, of the city of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented new and usefu1 -.Improvements in Water-Closets, privies," and other similar places and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to malie and. use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,

ibrlning part of this specification.

The present invention consists in the combination, with a water-closet, privy, and other similar places.- of a receptacle or receptaclesfor a deodorizing or disiifleeting-medium, whether in the form of a powder or liquid, when such receptacle or receptacles is provided with an arrangement of mechanism by which the disini'cctant contained in it can be discharged into the chamber or box surrolnlding the water closet bowl or privy-scat, or into such bowl, &c., and thus, by being there exposed to the efiluvia arising from the excrement within or discharged into the bowl or vault,

cause the same to be thoroughly and effectually disinfected or deodorized. 1 1

1n the accompanying plate of drawings, my imprpvements in water-closets, priries, &c., are illustrated, Figure 1 being a vertical section of a water-closet seat and casing, taken in a direction from front to rear, and

Figure 2 a transverse vertical section, taken in the plane of the line xx, fig. 1.

I A, in. the drawings, represents a box or casing, of suitable shape to'suiroimd and encase a water-closet bowl, or an ofi'al-pail or vessel, and leavea chamber or space, B, about the; same, to which there is a floor, G.

l), a cover or lid to chamber 13. This cover I) is provided with a hole, E, similar to that found in watercloset and privy-seats, below which hole E the excrement orofi'al -bowl is placed upon the floor O. The cover D is also. hinged at its rear side, so as to be swung up for theremoval of the oflal-bowl, or for other purposes, and at its front side or edgeF, rests upon the outercnds G of a lever-flame, H, that is hung by its cross-piece I tothe rear side of the chamber or box B.

J, a spiral spring, on which the lever-flame H rests. K, a rod, connecting lever-framc.H, upon its upper side, with a roller or drum, L, arranged in the. throat M, to the lower end pf a hopper, N, for the reception of the deodorizing or disinfecting-agent. This hopper is located above the watencloset seat, and the roller L, arranged in it, is at points 0 cut away or grooved, so that when turned by the depressing of the lever-frame, through the weight of the person upon the privy-scat, it will allow-and carry through the throat of the hop per some of the disinfectant contained therein, this roller always closing the tlnoat, except when operated as above stated.

Having thus described my improvements, I shall state my claim as follows:

- What I claim as my invention, and desire to have;

secured to me by Letters Patent, is-

A water-closet, privy, or other seat, when provided with a receptacle orreceptacles forsa deodorizing or disinfecting-agent or agents, in combination with an an'angement of mechanism, substantially as herein described, by which such disinfectants can be discharged into the chamber or space about the bowl, &c., or into it, substantially as and for the purpose described.
